Oh, Gaiam TV, where have you been all my life? Don’t worry, you don’t have to answer that. We’ve found each other now and that’s all that matters. Okay, before this post starts to sound weird (I hope we’re not at that point already?), let me explain: I’ve had the chance to try out Gaiam TV for a couple of [...]

I discovered something about myself this past weekend. Something kinda magical, actually. I might be a grandmother of 9…. BUT I LIKE BEING A PRINCESS! This Royal Transformation came about as many modern Royal Dreams do… through the world of Disney. It began when I was invited to the 2012 Princess Half Marathon Meet-Up, where princesses (and yes, princes) gather [...]

One of my favorite fitness bloggers, Renee Ross, frequently posts photos of herself post-workout. In those photos, she always looks so happy, energized and invigorated. It reminds me that that’s how I feel after I work out, too. Sometimes getting out of bed or off the couch or out of my comfy clothes to exercise can be tough. But usually, [...]

It seems that on this past Saturday, October 22nd, everything aligned just perfectly for my husband Barry and me to run in a race together for the first time ever. That would be ever. Barry never considered himself a runner.  And I began running just 3 years ago. Barry would become my biggest fan… making breakfast for me before my [...]

There’s nothing better than getting up to a spectacular Autumn early morning chill, and ribbons and ribbons of pinks, purples, blues and golds painting the sky… And meeting Jane for a spectacular Autumn early morning chill of a bike ride… The beauty of the day, my daughter, our wherever-we-end-up destination are gifts that I treasure… !
